Synthesis of ethylene copolymers with 2-allylphenol by using half-titanocene catalysts containing SiEt3-, SiiPr3-substituted phenoxide ligands, Cp*TiCl2(O-2,6-iPr2-4-SiR3-C6H2) (R = Et, iPr)

Efficient synthesis of ethylene copolymers with 2-allylphenol has been achieved by using the Cp*TiCl 2 (O-2,6- i Pr 2 -SiEt 3 -C 6 H 2 )–MAO catalyst system.
